royal blazon or coat of arms ¶ By the King. ❧ A Proclamation forbidding the Lodging of any Strangers, or His Majesty's own Servants, in His Palaces of White-Hall, and Denmark-house, in the time of the absence of His Majesty, and His Royal Consort the Queen, from those houses. Whereas of late years, more than in former times, and much more than is fit to be tolerated, many make their abode and resiance in the King and Queen's Royal Palaces of White Hall and Denmark-house, when their Majesties, and Courts, are absent from thence, to the great annoyance of those places, and scandal of government, because many retiring themselves thither, by the privilege of those places escape the hand of justice; his Majesty, therefore straight chargeth & commandeth, that no person whatsoever, other then ordinary Keepers of those Houses, in the absence of their Majesties, presume to lodge or abide in either of them, upon pain of His Majesty's heavy displeasure. And he doth therefore straight will and command, that the Lord Chamberlain, and Vicechamberlaine of his Majesty's house, and the Lord Chamberlain and Vicechamberlaine of the Queen's Highness house, and all those who have the charge or keeping of those houses, be careful to see His Majesty's pleasure observed herein, as they will answer the neglect thereof, at their utter most perils. And His Majesty's further pleasure is, that all such as have any Keys, of, or belonging to those houses, or either of them, do forthwith upon the King or Queen's Remooves, respectively, deliver up such Keys to the Lord Chamberlains respectively, or to such as they shall severally appoint, to receive and keep the same. Given at Our Court at Portesmouth, the three and twentieth day of july, in the fourth year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France, and Ireland. God save the King. ❧ Imprinted at London by Bonham Norton, and john Bill, Printers to the Kings most Excellent Majesty. ANNO M.DC.XXVIII.
